Chapter 2:Christine's Story and Confessions

"Why won't you go away? What do you WANT from me?!" Christine screamed. He laughed, mocking her.

"You cannot run forever, Christine. You cannot deny who you are," he said.

"I am no daughter of yours," she yelled, standing in the all too familiar woods.

"You are my daughter, and you will return to me," he said.

Christine woke up screaming. Starfire jumped out of bed and ran to her.

"Christine, have you had a nightmare?" she asked. Christine nodded, her eyes a vivid orange, signifying fear. Starfire hugged her.

"Perhaps some breakfast shall assist you in calming down," Starfire said, smiling. "And perhaps you could explain this 'getting together' thing that you speak of. With me and Robin," she added. Christine laughed, the orange in her eyes fading slightly into yellow, signifying humour.

"Let's get some food," she said, standing up. They walked downstairs together and Christine explained her plan to Starfire.

"So I must...flirt...with Robin? What a strange word," Starfire mused. Christine nodded and smiled, and her eyes turned a yellowish pink, which looked quite odd.

"You must make for me a list of your eye colors so I can know what you are feeling," Starfire said. Christine smiled.

"Sure but you are the only one who can see it," she said. "Now, here is how you flirt with Robin..."

Terra woke up with a huge yawn, rolled out of bed, and began her descent to the kitchen. She was the second to last person in there- Beast Boy came in a few seconds later. Terra's heart leaped slightly; she definitely could not deny she had feelings for him. They had actually been a couple at one point in time but broke it off because it was 'interfering with their jobs'. Christine was writing something with Starfire looking over her shoulder.

"Whatcha got there?" Beast Boy asked, walking over to Christine. Starfire stepped in front of him.

"You are not allowed to see!" she said, and Christine nodded.

"Here Star," she said, folding up the paper and handing it to her. "Remember, no one else can see it." Starfire nodded and stuck the paper in her pocket. Terra raised an eyebrow but continued with her task of getting herself some cereal. After everyone had finished eating, Beast Boy and Cyborg headed into the room with the Gamestation 2 in it and began to play a racing game. Christine finished eating her breakfast and went to watch them.

"HAHA! In your face!!!! I win!" Cyborg was shouting as she entered.

"I want to play!" she said cheerfully. Beast Boy and Cyborg stared; they were not used to having a girl challenge them.

"You're on!" Beast Boy said, snatching the other controller from Cyborg and tossing it to Christine. Cyborg blinked but then moved aside so Christine could sit between him and Beast Boy. A few minutes later, Christine let out a whoop of victory.

"HAHAHA! GO ME! YOU LOST TO A GIRL!!!" she said cheerfully, her eyes turning hazel.

"And that color means?" Beast Boy asked in annoyance, though he couldn't stay mad for long.

"Happy or excited," she said. "Well I'm going to get chang-" she started, but Raven, who had just walked in, cut her off.

"You told us you would tell us your story today," she reminded her. Christine's eyes started flashing rapidly from orange to black. Raven blinked. "Uh..your eyes are flashing at me," she said.

"Orange and black, fear and hate," Christine said. Cyborg and Beast Boy paused their current game and turned to her. Robin, Starfire, and Terra walked in.

"Okay...well, it started a long time ago when I was just three...."

A three year old Christine, dressed in a pretty sundress, was sitting on her father's knee. They were in a park at mid-afternoon.

"Now sweetheart, remember what daddy told you about him having special magical powers?" he said kindly to her. She nodded.

"Yes daddy!" she chirped, leaning over to pick a flower. He smoothed her hair.

"I am going to help you learn how to use yours," he said softly. Christine gasped and dropped the flower.

"I have powers, daddy?" she asked happily. He nodded.

"Yes. Just like me. Except you control the air and water. I have seen you do it, yet you didn't realize you were doing it," he said. Christine's eyes sparkled her natural hazel color.

"Oh yes, you have one other gift, your eyes change color with your mood, something else I have seen." He kissed her head as he said this. "You are maturing quite quickly."

"What do I do with my powers, daddy?" she asked.

"Why, you will help me in my line of work, of course," he said. Christine looked at him in confusion. "You shall see one day," he said.

Years passed. Christine turned eleven. Her father became a distant figure, never home. Her mother had disappeared without a trace three years ago, though Christine did remember a conversation she had overheard once..

"You can't do this to her! She's a young girl! Even eleven is too young! Your intentions are pure evil. She's only eight now. If you had to do this, couldn't you wait until she's thirteen or fourteen?" her mom had begged. Christine had stood, hidden from sight behind the wall, listening.

"Susan, I've explained to you..if you cannot accept my decision, you will have to leave. I cannot deal with any interference," he said calmly.

"I can't let you do this to our only daughter! Her powers are special, and you are just manipulating her! I think you're mad because she has powers you never had, and-"

"Susan. I suggest you leave." He cut her off quickly and coldly. Christine had gasped quietly.

"Fine. If you decide your 'noble' work is more important than me, I will," she snapped. She left a few days later.

But now Christine sat in front of her father, who smiled in a would-be assuring way. But this was not her father she was looking at. There was something different.

"I would like to introduce you into my line of work," he had said, smiling calmly. "There has been a bank robbery. Come with me." Christine followed him to the car in confusion. What did a bank robbery have to do with her? When they arrived, her father commanded her to persue the perpetrator. She protested.

"Daddy, he's a grown up! I'm just a kid!" she screamed. Her father stared down at her harshly.

"You have powers. Use them." Terrified to disobey, she ran to the scene of the crime. She saw the criminal running, and she concentrated on a flood of water...she flung her hands forward and a burst of water flew towards him....

Her "training" went on this way, her father taking her to different crime scenes every night until she was fifteen. She got her permit, and was leaving to hang out with her best friend when her dad told her another crime had been commited and they had to go, now...

"No, dad! I'm sick of this! I want to be a normal teenager! Do I even mean anything to you besides an outlet for fame? Every headline is 'Teenage Super Hero AND HER DAD...' or something to that extent!" she said.

"No. I am merely training you for the real business..being one of these criminals. You see..I hired them all," he said. She stared in horrified shock at him.

"No..no!" she yelled, running from him.

"Stop!" he yelled, creating a barrier in front of her.

"Let me go, NOW!" she yelled. Her powers began to spin wildly out of control and wind began blowing things around. Her father stared in horror. Faucets everywhere began spouting off and her eyes flashed every color they could turn.

"Well this is a problem....I suppose you'll be needing this.." he said calmly once the wind died down. Her backpack appeared from nowhere. She stared at him in wonder and hate. "I know where you're going..and you will return to me. Someway. You will." He threw the backpack at her. She glared harshly at him.

"No. I won't."

Silence around the room. Terra was the first to speak.

"Oh wow. So how did you end up washed up on shore? If you can control water couldn't you have I dunno done something?" she asked. Christine sighed.

"Yeah, I can control water...but I can't control the weather," she said with a wry smile. Everyone was silent still.

"So how did you end up here?" Beast Boy asked.

"Well, after I ran out of the house...."

She ran to the car and drove. Where she was going, she didn't know. It started to rain. "Oh joy," she muttered as the rain grew harder fast. She thought about making it stop, but then realized that while she could control the water she couldn't control the weather. Sighing in frustration at her limiations, she took a sharp turn. Too sharp. The car careened over the side of the cliff. "Well Jesus!" she yelled, unbuckling as fast as she could. She opened the window and used her wind powers to make her fall slowly to the ground. She landed on her feet and frowned as her car crashed a distance a way. She looked at the ocean in front of her. Without thinking, she ran into the waves, thinking she could use her water powers to help her.....

"That's the last thing I remember, besides a huge wave and me trying to control it," she said. Everyone stared.

"Oh, my God. I just realized...we could have fought her dad. Or may fight one day," Raven said. This fact seemed to hit everyone else, too. Starfire huggd her.

"What a terrifying past! We are glad you are safe here with us, away from danger," she said. Christine sat down. During her story, her eyes had turned orange, as if she was scared her father would burst through the window and steal her away at any given moment. But now they were the deepest black.

"I hate him. I know now what he meant...he knew I would end up here, I don't know how but he did. I'm scared he'll hurt you guys to get to me. Oh, God, I hate him!" she said, clenching her fists. A light wind picked up in the room, rustling a few loose papers, and they could distantly hear water trickling from the kitchen faucet. Beast Boy and Raven sat down on either side of her and put their arms around her. They were somewhat shocked that Raven had done this, but her powers were similar to Christine's, so it only figured.

"Learn to control your emotions. Trust me," Raven said softly.

"It will be okay. We'll be ready for him," Beast Boy said, smiling. She lifted her eyes to him and the black faded out.

"I hope so."

Terra sat alone in her bedroom. She felt so alone...she thought she and Beast Boy had something, maybe. But no....he had feelings for Christine. Or so it seemed. She didn't know.

I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard.

She didn't want it this way. But what could she do? She wished Christine had never shown up. Sure the girl was nice enough..but she was the only one who didn't know Terra's past.

A handful of complaints but I can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars.

She wished Beast Boy would still love her...what if he did, and she was just blind? She just wanted him to love her again. She should talk to him. Maybe he would listen. But he didn't last time.

I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel, but its like no matter what I do I can't convince you to just believe this is real.

She had let him go last time. He had left her. But why? She didn't know. Something about interfering with work. Maybe he was just scared. He pretended there were no more feelings. But Terra knew she still loved him.

(Bridge)So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do. Face away and pretend that I'm not, but I'll be here 'cause your all that I got.

She wished he would just acknowledge the fact they had potential. She loved him but hated him at the same time...not like before. It was different now. How blind could he be? She still wasn't over him..it was last year..when they were 15.

(Chorus)I can't feel the way I did before. Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored. Time won't heal this damage anymore. Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored.

She figured she should go talk to him. She shouldn't let him get away, not to another girl. That would hurt her worse than him just not loving her back. She stood up and paused at her door.

I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident.

She hesitated still, wondering what he would think.

'Cause you don't understand I do what I can but sometimes I don't make sense.

He obviously didn't understand. She did everything in her power to show her love for him without directly saying it, but maybe he just didn't take it that way.

I am what you never want to say, but I've never had a doubt, it's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me out.

Maybe he did love her and didn't want to admit it. She walked down the hallway towards his room. Last time she couldn't convince him to stay. Why should this time be any different? But then again..why shouldn't it be?

(Bridge, Chorus) No. Hear me out now. You're gonna listen to me like it or not, right now.

He had to listen. Even if he didn't agree..he wouldn't walk away like last time. She knocked on his door, but no one answered. She decided he was playing video games, and she walked downstairs. Then she heard the door open.

Hear me out now.

"Terra?" Beast Boy said. Terra turned around.

"I need to talk to you," she said, stepping towards him.

You're gonna listen to me

"Uh..okay. Come on in."

Like it or not, right now.

She sat down on his bed and sighed. "Where to begin..." she muttered, the since of insecurity creeping back.

(Chorus x3)

"Look Beast Boy...I just..I just want you to know...I never got over you last time," she said. Beast Boy stared at her a moment before turning his eyes towards the floor and sighing.

"Truthfully, Terra, I do still like you. It's just.."

"It's Christine, isn't it?" Terra stood up angrily. "I know it is."

"No, it's not." His eyes didn't meet hers, but she didn't notice.

"Well then what is it?" Beast Boy was silent a moment, lost in his own thoughts.

'Okay, well...maybe I do kinda like Christine. But I also like Terra. Terra is making a move while Christine isn't. Do I really wanna sit around and wait on someone?' he thought. He finally looked up into Terra's eyes.

"I guess it's just...what if it interferes with work again?" Beast Boy knew that was a lie; he had broken up with Terra last time because she had been too clingy.

"It won't."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

Christine sat in Starfire's room, laughing hysterically.

"Okay, so after you told him that his hair looked really nice today, what did he say?" she said. Starfire looked confused at Christine's laughter.

"He kind of stared at me like I was a Horthog with it's head cut off and told me thank you," she said. Christine laughed again. "I do not find the humor of the situation," Starfire said.

"No, it's just that, you're so new to flirting, that's just so funny! For a first timer I suppose you did pretty good. You should try talking to him casually from now on, not silly compliments, though real compliments do wonders," she said.

"Oh, okay. Now Christine, I have one question for you. Why did your eyes turn a light pink after you told your story? Beast Boy said something,and the black faded out, and they turned light pink," Starfire said, reaching over and grabbing the list Christine had written. Christine's eyes turned hot pink, which signified embarassment. "Embarassed?" Starfire asked, finding that color on the list. She gasped. "Romantic feelings?" she asked. Christine nodded.

"Yeah." Starfire squealed.

"Christine had romantic feelings for Beast Boy!" she said.

"No I do not!" Christine protested. Starfire giggled.

"Yes you do! Why else would your eyes have turned such a light pink color when you looked at him?"

"Okay maybe I do like him a little, but NOT a lot!" she said, blushing to match the hot pink of her eyes. Starfire giggled.

"You, also, must accompany me in this journey of flirting!" she said.

"No! I don't like him. That much," she said, noticing the accusing look in Starfire's eyes.

Terra and Beast Boy walked in to breakfast the next morning holding hands.

"Oh, God, not again," Raven said boredly. Christine stared at them a moment, before returning to her cereal. She fixed her eyes on her cereal so that no one would see the dark red color her eyes had turned. Unfortunately Starfire had seen it.

"Christine?" she asked, taking the list out of her pocket. She had been determined to memorize it, and now carried it with her everywhere. She skimmed the list and gasped when she reached the color. Dark Red- Disappointment, Rejection, Heartbreak. Christine finished her cereal and stood up.

"Hey Christine, where ya going?" Beast Boy asked. He noticed the dark red in her eyes, a new color. "Why are your eyes dark red?" Everyone looked up at her.

"Oh, I'm just..PMSing. Yeah," she said, smiling. "I'll be fine."

"Well, if you're sure," Beast Boy said.

"Way too much information there," Raven said. Christine walked back up to Starfire's room and fell on the bed, crying.
